Chapter 2517

West Lucozia was in chaos, but the turmoil finally subsided after Cardinal Dragon Marshal was captured.

Officials who had close ties to him were investigated, and those found guilty faced swift justice—some were arrested, while others were executed.

Following this purge, more than 300 officials were dismissed. Most were imprisoned, while those guilty of severe crimes were put to death.

Under Austin’s firm leadership, the government of West Lucozia underwent a drastic transformation.

The corruption, bribery, and backdoor dealings that had plagued the system for years were wiped out like a storm clearing the sky.

For the common people, the change was immediate and undeniable. When they visited government offices, they no longer encountered bureaucratic runarounds, bribery demands, or endless delays.
